The brief

Dressing for a casual day out

Casual doesn't mean careless. The men who look relaxed and put together are wearing the same jeans, tees and sneakers as everyone else, just in neutral colours, in the right size, and clean.

  1. 1Start with dark jeans or chinos that fit.
  2. 2Add a plain tee, polo or sweatshirt in a neutral.
  3. 3Clean sneakers or loafers.
  4. 4One layer if it's cool: overshirt, denim or bomber jacket.

Questions

Quick answers

Can casual still look put together?

Yes: keep colours to neutrals plus at most one accent, and make sure everything fits. Fit does more than any single item.

What colours are easiest for casual outfits?

Navy, grey, white, olive and denim blue all pair with each other, so nearly any top goes with any bottom.

How many pieces do I need for a casual wardrobe?

Around ten: two pairs of trousers or jeans, four or five tops, one layer and two pairs of shoes already make dozens of outfits.

Are sneakers OK for a casual outfit?

Yes, if they're clean and low-profile. Minimal leather sneakers in white or black go with jeans and chinos alike.

Should a casual shirt be tucked in?

Only if it has a long, curved hem. Shirts with a short, straight hem are made to be worn out.
